Lesson 1: The Bare Naked Generator:
Description: In this lesson, you’ll learn the basics of writing a generator in Hoon.
We hope you’ll join us on Urbit; ask for an invite to the learning group at ~/~hiddev-dannut/hooniverse.
Lesson 2: Making Faces
Description: In Lesson 2, we learn about “pinning faces” (something like variables) to the subject, mutating the value of a wing of the subject and doing some work with those faces you’re making and modifying.
Lesson 3: The Big IFF %.y
Description: In this lesson, we’ll investigate conditional statements, look at the wut rune family as a whole, and demonstrate some standard library functions.
Lesson 4: The Right to BEAR Arms
Description: In this lesson, we look at the use of arms and cores to do work that might not be best suited for a single gate to handle. In doing so, we also look at some other bar rune constructions and talk about where the course will go from here!
Lesson 5: Sibilance
Description: In this lesson, we build on all prior material and show how to use the various tools in conjunction to do some work.
Lesson 6: Measure (counter) and Cut Once
Description: In this lesson we begin discussing recursion in our programming. We use a very simple generator to demonstrate entering a recursive loop and exiting based on some condition.
Lesson 7: A Four Point Buc
Description: In this lesson we continue our recursion discussion. We focus specifically on the calling of a wing with changes, using centis, and identify exactly how our Urbits process that call.
Lesson 8: Missing Links
Description: In this, our final lesson on recursion, we explore the use of recursion to perform a function. We take into consideration the lessons learned from our past lessons on recursion and learn a few new things about lists along the way.
Lesson 9: North by Northwest
Description: In this lesson, we go orienteering with maps! Maps are a structure for data storage in Hoon which we’ll use more extensively in the next lesson. We’re coming towards the end of Hoon School, so we’re keeping it fun and light – but your next two lessons will be more challenging!
Lesson 10: Finally FUNctional Programming
Description: In this, our penultimate lesson of Hoon School 101, we program a length conversion utility. We use many of the elements we’ve seen previously: maps, conditionals, multi-arm cores, and a few new items. We’re in the final stretch – so stick with us!
Lesson 11: The Payout
Description: In this, our final lesson together, we combine all of the work we’ve previously done to create a fun and interesting generator. We also introduce auto-didactic techniques you can use going forward from here.
